DHS "Flash Mob"
Info?

I ran across this description of a fairly clever "flash mob" Disney did at DHS. Flash Mob
Has anyone seen this? I don't know of this was a one time trial thing or if it's being done regularly but looks like it would be quite amusing to watch the unsuspecting guests!

Oh, I was there that day, I was talking to the Crew, they were shooting Promos. Here is a Photo of the Crew I took. As Far as I know, this was a One time thing. http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream

Then again, whenever you see something at any of the parks, even if it looks real (like a film crew), I always wonder if it's real or fake like the baked cookie smell near the bakery at MK.... If it was a real film crew doing a promo, wonder what it's for!

Sad to inform you that this is not a real filming crew, if you look closely the "Director" is Alberto Dante from Citizens of Hollywood, they are doing this all across the park to give it a feel of a real video shoot. The flas mob is done every day just before the parade. They are all part of the modern citizens crew

Yulilin-
Thanks for the clarification. In the summer, we usually go to DHS either early or late in the day to avoid the worst crowds and heat so I haven't been there for the parade in a while. I had a feeling it wasn't a real film crew from the photo. The "crew" just looked a little too cast member "Disney" to me - matching hats, no t-shirts, etc. Also Disney tends to costume women playing parts like that in a tank top w/ camp style shirt over it like the carmera person is wearing. Indy as well as Lights, Motors, Action both have similar costumes on women! I love it that Streetmosphere actors are so good at keeping character that guests buy into the concept!!! Thank you, C. McNair Wilson, for doing such a great job on your original development of Streetmosphere!!!

I am sorry to Inform you, but When i talked to the Director, He was not doing an Italian Accent, So Why would he go out of Character (He won't I know for a fact as I am friends with someone whom did a very beloved walk around character in the park). Maybe the guy just looks like him, and Why would Disney be using Professional Equipment. Maybe the Director does Alberto Dante as a Side Job.

Also it is Film Crew, not Filming Crew.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, when I said that the Director is Dante from CoH I meant to say he used to be Dante from CoH...actually I'm happy to say that Alberto Dante is back on the streets as a CoH and the Modern Film Crew still wander the areas around Streets of America and Hollywood Blvd. These are actors performing a part it's not a real film crew, they do use real equipment to make it feel like it's the real thing. And thanks for the note about Film Crew, you see I wasn't born in the USA. I'm actually from Venezuela so any notes on grammar are always welcome.

I have to say I prefer the classic version of CoH to the modern CoH characters. I think the modern characters, while very realistic, are not as entertaining and tend confuse guests. You can't help but be entertained by all the classic CoH cast members such as Jack Diamond Played by Terry Ward (formerly of Diamond Horseshoe Review) or Officer Peabody played by Tim Goodwin (formerly of Adventurers Club), etc. They are all the BEST!!! It never fails to amaze me that the CoH CMs can stay in character regardless of what happens while they're "on stage". They are all true professionals! I still haven't made it to DHS mid-day to check out which CMs are playing the all the modern CoH parts including film crew. It's just too hot in the summer.

I don't want to sound like an overly dramatic nuisance, but you may wish to reconsider revealing which actor plays which role in a Disney Theme Park. Just because the audience knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man doesn't mean that the audience should know the "secret identities" of the CoH. Part of keeping the "Disney Magic" alive and all.

Of course, if a Disney performer wanted to step up and introduce him/herself on this message board, that's a different story.

I understand what you're saying, CoH#1fan. I'm pretty careful about not saying anything I think would annoy or be out of line for a CM. The 2 CMs I mentioned have participated in our ConGaloosh events with well over 100 in attendance and are pretty public about their identities. For example, Terry mentions his roles at Disney on his personal website. Tim has mentioned being at DHS CoH after The Adventurers Club closed. His name has also been noted in various websites in conjunction with DHS and The Adventurers Club; Adventurers Club Wiki as well as an extensive MousePlanet article in 2008 featuring all the CMs working at The Adventurers Club the last night it was open to the public. I did not mention several CoH CMs (current & past) I know tend to be less public about their identities. If I was out of line for mentioning this on this forum, I do apologize.
